If you look at the 2026 World Series, Game 5 ended at about 11:30 PM Eastern. But that’s just one game. The previous year, Game 4 ended around 12:15 AM. See the pattern? It’s never the same. It’s like a snowflake, but with more beer and anxiety.
The real problem is context. Did the game have a rain delay? Did a manager argue for ten minutes about a stolen base? Did a bat boy lose a shoe? Each tiny drama adds ten minutes to the clock.
